Peter’s
commitment to young people stems from his own humble beginnings in
the East End when he left school at just 15. Peter has a real
understanding of the experience that young people face and the
difference that support and advice can make.
Founding CMC Markets in 1989, Peter’s entrepreneurial talents
have fashioned a company that is now considered a global leader in
online financial trading. The company, originally focussed on
Foreign Exchange, now handles around six million trades annually
with an average value of $2 billion per business day.
